Features: Six thousand years ago, ancient Qingpu was formed, giving rise to the legendary Shanghai civilization born from the water. Six thousand years later, we set off to that land shaped like a colorful butterfly, exploring the distant simplicity and depth hidden beneath the bustling years. Walking and traversing, meditating and reflecting, gazing and listening—then, linked together by many surprises, many reflections, many unexpected encounters, many searches that yielded nothing, many sudden echoes, and many near misses—this forms a vivid, colorful, and thought-provoking travelogue that bridges the past and the present. When you close the book, you might sigh in wonder, or you might ponder deeply. Perhaps on some night under a starry sky, you will lift your head to gaze at the endless stars, and in that very moment, you will encounter the true essence of ancient Shanghai.
